I just added a new heatsink to my computer and now Im getting this really strange motherboard beep, I recorded it on my Iphone if that would help anyone. Its like 15 short beeps, followed by a pause for 10 seconds and then it repeats this. I couldnt find anything in the manual that described this ... any ideas?
 
Does the computer even post? Have you tried reseating the cpu, memory? Did you plug the heatsink in?
 
Looks like 15 beeps is a cmos error. Try resetting it by unplugging power from psu and removing the cmos battery and then pressing the power button on the case a few times to discharge remaining power. Wait a minute and then reinsert battery and plug psu in and try booting up.
 
Thansk John Ill try that when I get home from work, It took me so long to install the heatsink, I was so wiped out to investigate the beep. It bugged me because the beep was so strange.. The beeps are so fast I can not even tell if its 15 beeps . I uploaded a wav file to rapidshare if anyone wants to take a listen
